Greg Natale, celebrated as a top 100 interior designer globally, and Kaolin, a premier porcelain tile manufacturer at the pinnacle of the industry, will be unveiling The Dimora Collection, a testament to what can be achieved when leaders in design and porcelain tile craftsmanship unite to push the boundaries of their respective fields. This collection stands out on the global stage for its innovation, quality, and artistic expression with colours and textures that were never achieved in porcelain tile manufacturing. We eagerly anticipate introducing you to this masterpiece that represents a new horizon in design and craftsmanship.

Collection 2 | GROTTA.

The Grotta collection comprises four tiles featuring modernist, simplified designs that echo the 1970s Brutalist movement. This exploration of natural forms through industrial materials like concrete, brick, and bronze, alongside reduced shapes, neutral tones, and decorative textures, emphasizes the raw beauty of urban design. The collection represents abstract constructivism, blending the innovations of industrial design with architecture. It highlights Kaolin’s craftsmanship, praised within the industry for achieving some of the most technically complex and intricate textures. Textures such as plaster, cardboard, burnt wood, and copper have never before been realized in porcelain tile manufacturing and stand out for their uniqueness. The applications for these tiles are vast, suitable not only for residential spaces but also for commercial settings that favour a Brutalist and industrial design approach.
